In theory the X79 could support it because as far as I understand it's a driver level thing to implement, but will they put resources into it is the question. But that's just guessing on my part, I don't know if anyone outside Intel knows for sure if it's a physical limitation or not at this point.
Kinda what I came to with my research/googling as well. Appreciate your help. I am going to stripe two 520 series drives... guy at mem express said he has never built a faster PC.

I'll post pics (maybe a video) when its done.
